Congressman Compares Florida Christians To Taliban

Alan Grayson, the Democratic firebrand from Florida's 8th District, made himself a nationwide household name — and angered conservatives — last year with his declaration that the Republican plan for health care amounts to hoping sick people “die quickly.” Now his latest move could prove equally infuriating to his political opponents. In a new election campaign ad, Grayson compares Florida's Christian politicians to the Islamist fundamentalists of the Middle East. “Religious fanatics are trying to take away our freedom in Afghanistan, in Iraq and right here in central Florida,” declares a female voice-over. The ad focuses on Daniel Webster, Grayson's Republican opponent in this year's mid-term election and a former state legislator. “Daniel Webster wants to impose his radical fundamentalism on us,” the ad asserts. “Webster tried to deny battered women medical care and the right to divorce their abusers. He wants to force raped women to bear the child. Taliban Dan Webster. Hands off our bodies, and our laws.” http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2010/09/grayson-ad-taliban-dan/ added by: ibrake4rappers13
